Aracely Duffy · Answer 1

Participation of women in the scenes was non-existent. On Greece, only men could participate acting in theater. When there was an instance on a play where women were to be, they were represented by young males with some delicate costumes wearing special colours suggestive to the eyes of the public. Spectators could hear also a soft voice from these young boys that could also be wearing masks. Still, women were only allowed to witness some types of theatrical presentations, (that is only tragical storylines and no comedy was available for them to watch).
